'Risk of Rain 2' Seekers of the Storm Expansion Announced For Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox And PC - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Nov. 8, 2023 @ 2:29 p.m. PST

Risk of Rain 2 brings 3D graphics and third-person shooter mechanics to the franchise while maintaining that classic co-op roguelike gameplay fans love from the original.

The classic multiplayer roguelike, Risk of Rain, returns with an extra dimension and more challenging action. No run will ever be the same with randomized stages, enemies, bosses, and items. Play solo, or team up with up to four friends to fight your way through hordes of monsters, unlock new loot, and find a way to escape the planet.

With each run, you'll learn the patterns of your foes, and even the longest odds can be overcome with enough skill. A unique scaling system means both you and your foes limitlessly increase in power over the course of a game--what once was a bossfight will in time become a common enemy.

Myriad survivors, items, enemies, and bosses return to Risk 2, and many new ones are joining the fight. Brand new survivors like the Artificer and MUL-T debut alongside classic survivors such as the Engineer, Huntress, and--of course--the Commando. With over 75 items to unlock and exploit, each run will keep you cleverly strategizing your way out of sticky situations.


Seekers of the Storm, the second expansion for Risk of Rain 2, will feature new Survivors, tons of new items, enemies, stages, and more. 

It will introduce new lore and is packed with new items, and more. It introduces The False Son, a mighty antagonist constructed by the Lemurians in Providence’s image and corrupted by Mithrix’s Beads of Fealty. The expansion also debuts the franchise’s first stage with Day and Night phases, giving players different ways to interact and access to more areas to explore. 

The expansion will be coming to Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC storefronts (Steam and Epic Games Store) as well as Xbox Series X|S and PS5 via backward compatibility.
